The Volt uses 100% battery power at all speeds until it runs out of battery power (exactly like a full EV). Then the generator kicks in and it can run more like a Plug-in hybrid.

At this point the only other car that acts like the Volt is the BMW I3 EV that has the REX 2 cylinder range extender motor. But it cost twice as much.
Both of these cars do exactly what oildpan4 wants.

I think it is great there are good deals out there on any EV’s.
Very cool to have another Leaf owner on the forum
